Ivy League equivalents...

OK, Just to get a feeling of where certain American universities stand. How about we find out what UK schools are peer to the Ivies. It doesnt even have to be the Ivies, just any top school in the country that you know of. Sometimes the Ivies are crap in comparison to other schools with more international recognition.

Harvard.....
Yale....
Princeton....
Columbia....
UPenn....
Dartmouth....
Cornell....
Brown....

Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial

MIT in the US is a top school too but it's not Ivy

Hmm. Questionable.
I mean Imperials good and that and they specialise in science like mad.
But MIT are just a whizlist.

University of Michigan = University of Manchester, that's always been a reference point for me in relation to comparing American institutions to British ones.

Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Upenn etc. In reality most ivies and stanford/MIT/Berkeley are better than UCL and Imperial.

Schools are for children. Ivies are for botanists.

Harvard, Yale, Princeton = Oxbridge

MIT, Caltech = LSE, Imperial

Stanford = UCL

Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth = Bristol, Durham, Warwick, York, Edinburgh, Nottingham, St Andrews (ie rest of Sutton trust 13)

Duke, Emory, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, UVA, Washington in St Louis, Rice = Bath, Kings, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Exeter.

And there we have it - P.S all the above reputations are based over time and not the last Times league table.

LSE itself says it's the world's best social science institution. But LSE for postgrad can be compared to Chicago which again isn't Ivy.

For LSE's equivalent it is quite simple. Columbia. It has a university wide partnership with Columbia and joint degrees with it and both are excellent at the same things (ie politics, managment, history and law). They are also both in major cities.
